Manufacturer and Hologram
Kinebar Gold Bars are manufactured by Argor-Heraeus, based in Mendrisio, Switzerland. The parent company is the renowned German company Heraeus, based in Hanau.
The special feature of the Heraeus Kinebar is the security hologram on the back of the gold bar, which makes counterfeiting more difficult. The hologram shows the colors of the rainbow from different points of view. The procedure was developed by the Swiss company OVD Kinegram AG.
Kinebar Price
The price for Kinebar Gold Bars is the result of the current gold price and the premium. The premium is the sum of the costs and margin of the manufacturer and seller. The premium for Kinebars is generally higher than other gold products because of the cutting edge technology used to manufacture the bars.
Gold is traded on the stock exchanges worldwide, where the gold price is determined by supply and demand. The price of gold fluctuates minute by minute as traders and investors can buy many different types of gold products from the physical metal to exchange traded funds. In our view, the best way to own gold is buying the physical metal in the form of a coin or bar.
